Hello, over the course of two years the fence panels which are between the A3 and Bedford lane are falling doen, Everrytime there is a high wind another comes down as they arent being fixed. one fence panel blew into my car as i was driving past last year ! We have propped the panels up but they are not at all secure. Also this is actually also a busy bridleway and when these poanels come down there is direct access onto the a3 if a horse bolts. I have been trying to report this for two years and tape goes up and its marked as resolved but it never is fixed and it just gets worse. P,ease could we have these panels fixed ? I have also reported 4 panels down on Boundless very close by. Ma=ybe they could all be doen at the same time ? It would be really helpful as thesae are a hazard as well as an eye sore - thanks so much
